Description
On Christmas Eve 1993, after a high-speed chase over icy winter roads, an RCMP officer shot a member of the Lillooet Nation. What led up to this tragedy? Could it have been prevented? And was justice done? After eighteen months of research, Bruce Strachan has written a gripping account that asks new questions about the often strained relationship between First Nations people and the RCMP.
About the author
Bruce Strachan is well-known on the northern BC scene. He has been, in his own words, "a bar-room piano player, a tire salesman, an education administrator and a provincial politician." In his most recent reincarnation, he writes two columns, one on the political scene and one on cars for The Prince George Citizen. He also hosts a weekly radio show.
